Many astrologers believe that the relocated horoscope acts like a secondary natal chart, responding to transits and progressions in the same way the birth chart does. The relocated chart shows how the sky looked at the moment of your birth — not from your birthplace, but from a different location on Earth. Here is a rather famous example of relocating a chart. President John F. Kennedy was born in Massachusetts with Saturn within one degree of his Midheaven.
Our companion the Moon has a wonderful, little-known but highly visible cycle which anyone can watch unfold over the next several years. I speak of the “Standstill Cycle of the Moon,” a pattern of lunar visibility which dramatically affects where Luna rises and sets, bringing highly unusual event locations when it reaches its extremes. The last occurrence was in 2006. The next event, called a Major Standstill, arrives in 2025.
The promise of the Sun/Moon midpoint (an "alchemical" blend of contrasting energies) is that with careful observation and use, one can find the source of happiness in one's life – most commonly in our closest relationships. For many of us, a part of the original reason for being drawn to this sacred art of astrology is that it offers answers to personal issues or problems, particularly those based around successful relating to others.
In the history of the United States, two dates loom large as the birth moments of the country. Most obviously is July 4, 1776, the date in which the leaders came together to shrug off the oppressive bonds of their parent nation, and which is celebrated annually as the nation's birth. More esoterically, but no less and possibly more important, is Sept 17, 1787, the date of the ratification of the United States Constitution: the moment when the people conglomerated their several powers and created a unified government.
Interpreting a chart is making predictions. Because the chart itself IS a prediction. Otherwise, there would be no Astrology, neither would it last for millennia. The astrologer is a channel. What they say is what comes from the divine. That is why they should reverence that which is above. Astrology REQUIRES the capacity to foresee. And this is an ability to be developed.
During a conversation in 1978 with a yogi and astrologer by the name of Shelly Trimmer, I was intrigued by a remark he made about the significance of Jupiter in the horoscope, and how its qualities were reflected in this planet's astronomical features. For astrologers, he said, Jupiter represents a person's broader capacity for logic and their philosophical perspective on life
One must never equate Sun signs with fixed star constellations.
Every few years we hear the same old news from critics of astrology, mostly astronomers and physicists who know nothing about astrology. They argue that the signs of the zodiac used by astrologers do not correspond to the actual constellations of stars on the sky... 
This short online introduction can help make you familiar with
most of the astrological techniques and give you a basic understanding of how it's all done.
This introduction into the basic ideas of astrology is taken
from the children's book "Looking at Astrology" by Liz Greene. Although once written
for children, the text is very interesting for everyone who wants to take first steps in astrology.
